Place: The Salvatore School-A Courtyard

Hope's p.o.v

Alone, here I sit in the courtyard. Landon, in his phoenix form, startles me. "I haven't seen you in ten years. I remember you left shortly after the twins' birth" Landon recalls. "I am sorry for leaving you hanging" I apologize. "Carl raped and impregnated you" Landon reminds me. West's presence pulls me out of a dark deep depression. When he hugged me and called me Mommy, I found meaning for my life again. Landon and West become fast friends.
